Delphi Basic

Course overview

Goals and benefits

This two-day Delphi training course will introduce you to the current version of the Object Pascal programming language and the Integrated Development Environment (IDE).

Following a short introduction to the basic principles of Object-Oriented Programming, you will be taught the  fundamentals of programming with Delphi like:
– Introduce Pascal as a programming language to implement object-oriented systems.
– Design and implement classes, using inheritance to specialize features of those classes.
– A quick overview of the built-in object hierarchy.
– Introduction to various loops like for, while and repeat loops.
– Introduction to procedures and functions.
– Introduction to database applications with live bindings.
– The major objective of the course is to give you enough knowledge and hands-on experience to be able to build simple object-oriented programs.

Target

This training is aimed at programmers who want to get a thorough and sound introduction to Delphi and programming in Delphi.

Prerequisites

The course requires at least some experience in any other programming language. Function-, procedure- or object-oriented language.

Practical Exercises

Throughout the course there will be a mix of theoretical teaching (projector and whiteboard) and practical exercises, with as much hands-on as possible.

Q&A about our Online Courses due to COVID-19

Why doesn´t Alfasoft offer Delphi classroom training at the moment?
Due to circumstances surrounding COVID-19, we have decided to convert upcoming scheduled Delphi classroom courses into online courses.

Do I need any prior knowledge to participate? Do I receive any documentation or continued support after the course?
Before the course starts, you will receive training material via email in PDF format. The documentation describes each step through the course and is very useful to have also after the training. After the online training, you will have the opportunity to ask questions to Alfasoft and the teacher Jens Fudge, up to one month after the training to receive continued support with your Delphi development.

Is it the same content on the online course and the scheduled physical course?
The course content is the same, with a course leader leading and guiding you during the day, and you will learn the same thing on both versions of the course. The only difference is that the online course structure is adapted for a digital course experience. The adaption means that, for example, all exercises have a format optimized for doing online.

Can I ask questions to the course leader and other participants during the online course?
You can ask questions to the course leader before, during, and after the course. You also have the opportunity to interact with other participants during the session.

What equipment is required of me to be able to participate in the distance course?
All that is required is that you have access to a computer, mobile, or tablet with a good internet connection and headphones. It is also desirable that you can sit undisturbed. You will need to have a preinstalled Delphi 10.X license installed on your local machine (can be an evaluation license). You do not need to preinstall any other programs; instead, you connect to the video platform GoToWebinar – which is the software that will be used – via a link that we send to you by email before the course starts.

What happens if I am not happy with the distance course?
If you are not satisfied with the distance course, we offer you the opportunity to participate in a future possibility of the classroom version if the training is arranged as a classroom training in the spring of 2021 – at no extra cost.

Is there any difference in price for attending a distance course compared to an onsite course?
For our online courses, we offer a reduction of the course fee with 20% compared to a scheduled classroom class.

What participants say about this training:
“The Delphi Pascal programming language is an amazing language. It is also a very efficient native and portable programming language. This course provides a very good introduction of Delphi Pascal on which you can build upon.”

“Bra kurs för en medel/nybörjare. Lite förkunskap i delphi är bra att ha. Och i objekt orienterad programmering. Men mycket informativ kurs och bra uppgifter och exempel som man får med sig på usb minne och i häfte.”
-Johan Melin

“Supert kurs med en dyktig lærer. Lærte mye på kort tid!”
